About Me

Who am I? That is a question the rest of you could probably answer better than I. I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, pediatric nurse practitioner, cook, teacher, gardener, lover of words and music, occasional seamstress, and homemaker. I do have a couple of talents of questionable merit: I can create a decent meal in less than 30 minutes. I can feed and/or soothe almost any baby. And I can remember practically any song I've ever heard. For the rest, I'd rather those who know me decide.

As summer fades...

Despite my anticipation for a lovely fall in one of the most beautiful places to admire it...I can't help but look back to the beauty hikes in and around Cades Cove shared with me this past summer...

In early spring there are banks of mountain laurel to admire. A bit later the rhododendrons follow in their full glory. While beautiful, this picture does no real justice to the canopy of rhodies that surrounded us on so many trails.
